Graduating from SAIC's MFA Painting and drawing department in 2014, I was invited to join the Julius Caesar artist collective as a co-director the following summer. Over the next 10 years, I spent time in Chicago's art scene as an artist, preparator, studio assistant, curator, teacher, and organizer, learning first hand the kind of support artists need. Entry into the commercial art ecosystem requires mutual investment, communication, and practical solutions to provide structure in an industry where access is always under capacity.
